Ren (Scene - fight between Li and Ren)

This scene demonstrates a lot about Ren’s character, devotion, and skills in combat. this is narrated by Kelsey Suddenly, Li announced that we were going to be doing take-downs again, which he had avoided since his first session with Ren. This time, Li and Ren were going to demonstrate the moves to the rest of us. Li instructed us to all sit back against the wall. Ren reluctantly broke eye contact with me and moved up to face his opponent. The two men circled each other. Li made the first move, a backward roundhouse to show off and move in closer, but Ren gracefully blocked it. Li shifted his weight to one leg and swept behind Ren's knee then threw a punch at Ren's chest. Ren shifted to the right so Li's sweep missed and used his palm to block the punch. Li used an elaborate corkscrew maneuver next, placed one hand on the floor, and attacked with a scissor kick. Ren grabbed Li's foot and twisted, bringing Li down hard on his stomach. Li rolled away angrily and returned a series of punches. Ren blocked him high, low, and even backward, effectively neutralizing Li's attacks. Li realized he was getting nowhere. He faked a punch to grab Ren's arm and yanked hard so he could do a backward kick to the face, but Ren pulled him off balance, and Li fell to the mat again. He did a kick-up and turned to face Ren, and they circled again. "Do you really want to continue this?" Ren said. "You've proved you're a good fighter." "I'm not trying to prove anything.” He grinned. “I just wanted to stop you from ogling my girl." He shot off a quick double punch to Ren's chest. Ren simply grabbed Li's wrists and twisted them outward. Li howled and stepped away. He came back with a front kick to Ren's face. Ren grabbed his heel. “She hasn't decided yet whose girl she is.” He lifted his arms and threw Li, flipping him upside down. “But, if I were a betting man, I wouldn't be giving you very good odds.”

Ren Scene (Fight between Li and Ren part 2)

I gasped in outrage and embarrassment. Ren turned to look at me. Seeing he was distracted, Li grabbed Ren's arms from behind and pushed up, a move that immobilized most people. Without missing a beat, Ren ran up a wall with Li still holding his arms and flipped over him in the air. When he landed, he flicked his wrists, effectively reversing their positions. Li's elbows were now pointed in the air while e down slightly. When Li gasped in pain, Ren quickly let him go. Li spun out and tried sweeping Ren's legs again, but Ren leapt over them, twisted, and pinned Li easily. Jennifer looked at me nervously and grabbed my hand. Li was enraged. He wiped his mouth and spat out, "You let me worry about my odds." He spun and kicked, making contact with Ren's chest. The impact caused both of them to take a few steps back. Li taunted, "At least I didn't give her up and walk away." The moves were too fast for me to discern now. I saw punches, arm-blocks, step-back twists, side kicks, foot play, and kick blocks. At one point, Ren ran at Li and did a complicated aerial somer- sault in tucked position, double twisted, and flipped over Li entirely in the air. As he was coming down, he placed his hand on Li's back and used his momentum to push Li flat on his face on the mat. The class started clapping and cheering. Ren pressed his hand against Li's back, holding him immobile, and growled quietly, "No. But you will. She's mine.” Ren let him up, and Li became a raging bull after that, going after Ren with everything he had. Sweat was pouring down his face, and he was breathing hard. He attacked even more viciously than he had before, and Ren stepped up his game a little too. Li was finally getting in some punches. I was mortified that they were fighting over me. Publicly. At the same time, I couldn't take my eyes off them.

Ren Scene (Fight Between Li and Ren Part 3)

Li was a force to be reckoned with. He was obviously highly skilled. However, there was still a world of difference between him and Ren. It was almost like they were moving at two different speeds. I watched Ren fight. In fact, it would have been impossible for me to look away. Each move was a beautiful study in form. I found myself entranced by the calculated control and power he displayed. He was simply magnificent. A fighter worthy of the tiger he often was. I was furious that he had the audacity to claim me as his in front of everyone. Yet, at the same time, I was secretly thrilled that he wanted me that fiercely. He really was a warrior-angel. My warrior-angel, I thought possessively. After about fifteen minutes of fighting hard and getting nowhere, Li, panting forcefully, dismissed the class. I tried to talk with him, but he waved me off and grabbed a towel to cover his head.

Mr. Kadam had worked for him ever since he had been turned into a tiger. The amulet that the evil wizard was after is what had kept Mr. Kadam alive for so many years. Mr. Kadam cared for the prince's parents until they passed on to the next life, and did all that he could to help Ren when he was captured. After finishing their conversation, Ren left Kelsey so she could sleep. The next morning, Kelsey was searching through her room's large closet when she stumbled upon a blue sharara dress. She came down to breakfast wearing it. Mr. Kadam told her that Nilima picked it out for her. It was then that Kelsey realized the flight attendant was Mr. Kadam's great granddaughter. He told her he had family, but separated himself from them when he found he could not age. Soon after, Kelsey decided to explore the estate. She went through a storage space and both Mr. Kadam's and Ren's bedrooms. She came across Ren in human form once more. He told her she looked pretty and showed her the many ways in which to wear the d'upatta scarf with the sharara, with Kelsey admiring his attractiveness all the while.

Ren and Kelsey traveled to Kanheri Cave the following day. Mr. Kadam had given them Ren's family seal, feeling they might need it. Because there were so many tourists in the park, they decided to wait until nightfall to explore. Kelsey spoke of her childhood and her parents while the white tiger listened. When the sun had finally set, the two walked through the jungle until they reached the mouth of the cave. They entered to find it had once housed Buddhist monks. They searched through the chambers until they came across a wall with an engraving that matched the family seal. When the seal was pressed against the wall, it opened a hidden doorway. The tiger and the girl walked cautiously through the darkness with only a flashlight and torch lighting the way. They soon found themselves in a labyrinth. Ren used his sense of smell to sniff out the exit. He and Kelsey soon came to a corridor crawling with giant black beetles. Gathering their courage, Kelsey and Ren made a run for it. They escaped with barely a scratch. They continued onward until they reached a narrow passageway with a slippery floor and poisonous spikes that jutted out of the walls at random. The two walked slowly through the corridor until they were both safely on the other side. Kelsey and Ren walked a while longer before they came to a small room. Suddenly, the door behind them came down. They rushed to the second door, but it too came down, blocking their escape route. A panel in the ceiling opened and water was released into the tiny room. Ren found there was another engraving for the seal to be placed under the water, which was rising fast. Kelsey dove down and opened the door just before she ran out of breath. They continued through the maze until they came to a giant chasm. In order to cross it, Ren had to jump as a tiger with Kelsey on his back. He transformed into a man at the last second, catching her in his arms.

When they came to the end of the labyrinth, the faced a large door with etched symbols, one being a handprint similar to the henna design Phet drew Kelsey's hand. Kelsey placed her hand on the door, and it began to glow. The door opened to a grotto with a monolith at its center. The stone also had a handprint on it. Hieroglyphics appeared when Kelsey placed her hand on it. She and Ren concluded it was the prophecy they were meant to find. After taking multiple pictures of the stone, Ren noticed a golden liquid coming from the stone. The acidic liquid was consuming everything in its path. The stone fell to the floor, allowing the acid to creep toward the girl and the tiger. When they were forced into a corner, Ren and Kelsey forced themselves through a stone wall. Rocks fell behind them, separating them from the grotto. Once they were out into the night, they carefully made their way back to the Jeep. They heard the sound of a wild animal. Ren took off to check it out, and was gone for a number of minutes, making Kelsey very worried. Kelsey continued walking and sensed a big cat nearby. At first she thought it was Ren but it turned out to be a panther!
